Designed for heavy-duty commercial distribution, this 15-amp Siemens MCCB provides essential long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The two-pole breaker integrates into Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards as well as SB switchboards. Capable of clearing 42kA faults at 480VAC, it meets rigorous industrial demands while maintaining a compact ED-frame footprint. Facilities planning long-term maintenance can eventually transition to the 3VA5195-6EC26-0AA0 substitute using an adapter plate.
Can the Siemens HED42B015 replace an older ITE HED42B015?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the HED42B015 is the exact same molded case circuit breaker. It serves as a direct replacement for the legacy ITE branded version.
What panelboards are compatible with the HED42B015 circuit breaker?
This ED frame breaker is designed for use in Siemens Sentron panelboards, including P1, P2, and P3 models, as well as Siemens SB switchboards.
Does the HED42B015 require a separate lug kit for installation?
No. This breaker comes standard with load lugs installed. The lugs accept 14 to 10 AWG copper wire or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum wire.
Is the Siemens HED42B015 suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes. Standard Siemens ED frame circuit breakers like the HED42B015 do not have removable trip units and are not marked with Line and Load designations, making them suitable for reverse feed applications.
Can this breaker be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes. The HED42B015 is a thermal magnetic breaker that carries a DC interrupting rating of 30kA at 250VDC, making it suitable for direct current applications.
How does this breaker mount into the panelboard?
The HED42B015 features a bolt-on connection type. It bolts directly to the busbars in compatible Siemens panelboards and switchboards.
